After arriving at his residence, Ye Lin began to tally his gains from this trip.
Of course, the most important item was still the Phoenix Egg. Ye Lin took out the Phoenix Egg and placed it beside him, then took out the Foundation Establishment Pill and Magic Shadow Without Trace, along with the last two items: the hidden god pearl and fire Spirit Stones.
Any one of these items, if it were to fall into the outside world, could cause a bloody storm.
"Foundation Establishment Pill, I can use it when I Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage."
Looking at the Foundation Establishment Pill in front of him, Ye Lin muttered to himself. This Foundation Establishment Pill was refined in the ancient era, and as for now, the Pill Formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill has been lost.
This means that only he possesses a Foundation Establishment Pill.
"But what exactly is the use of this hidden god pearl?"
Looking at the blue pearl in his hand, Ye Lin fell into contemplation. He then slowly injected Spiritual Qi into it, and instantly, a strange light enveloped his entire body.
"Hiss, this hidden god pearl can actually make me invisible? And it can also conceal any aura from my body?"
After understanding it, Ye Lin was greatly shocked. The effect of this hidden god pearl was simply Heaven-Defying! Moreover, after going invisible, as long as a Golden Core Stage cultivator doesn't come, no one will be able to discover him.
"Perfect, with this treasure, even if I face Lin Zisheng in the future, I won't panic at all."
Ye Lin carefully put the hidden god pearl back into his space ring. This thing was truly a good item.
"But how exactly should you be hatched?"
At this moment, Ye Lin's gaze fell upon the Phoenix Egg. He currently had no clue whatsoever.
This feeling of possessing a treasure mountain yet being unable to utilize it made him very uncomfortable.
"Phoenix Egg, I now possess Phoenix Fire. Let's try."
After thinking this, Ye Lin began to activate the Phoenix Fire within his Dantian. Instantly, a scorching flame emanated from his body, covering the entire Phoenix Egg.
At the same time, the mysterious patterns on the surface of the Phoenix Egg also began to glow, and strange forces dispersed in all directions.
"Damn it, stop."
At this moment, Ye Lin's expression changed. The Phoenix Egg in front of him was desperately absorbing the Phoenix Fire, and his Spiritual Qi had already been drained dry.
Phoenix Fire can only be sustained by using Spiritual Qi. Now, the Phoenix Egg was absorbing Phoenix Fire, and the Phoenix Fire was absorbing his Spiritual Qi, creating a cycle.
If this continued, once his Spiritual Qi was gone, it would start draining his vital blood.
"Damn it, I'll risk it."
At this moment, Ye Lin gritted his teeth, took out his last Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, and began to absorb it. As for the Innate Spiritual Qi in his Dantian, that was for his Breakthrough to the Qi Training Ninth Layer, and he couldn't touch it.
The Spiritual Qi contained within a single Mid-Grade Spirit Stone was massive, yet even so, it was drained dry in a short amount of time.
However, to Ye Lin's relief, the Phoenix Egg in front of him had stopped absorbing, which made him sigh in relief.
Looking at the Spirit Stone powder in his hand, Ye Lin wanted to cry but had no tears. It was just gone...
"There's a very faint life aura. This worked."
At this moment, Ye Lin detected a faint life aura emanating from the originally lifeless Phoenix Egg. Although it was extremely faint, there was indeed a life aura.
This couldn't help but make his heart fill with joy. As long as he could hatch a Phoenix, what was the loss of one Spirit Stone?
"Right, there's also Lin Ziyou's nirvana fruit. The nirvana fruit can heal injuries, perhaps it will be useful for the Phoenix Egg. Never mind, I'll start Cultivating."
After thinking everything through, Ye Lin closed his eyes and fully absorbed the Innate Spiritual Qi within his Dantian.
In the blink of an eye, eight days passed.
"Such powerful strength. Innate Spiritual Qi truly lives up to its reputation."
On this day, Ye Lin opened his eyes and looked at his strong arms, unable to help but praise them.
Having been strengthened by Innate Spiritual Qi, he was even more formidable than an ordinary Qi Training Ninth Layer cultivator.
Coupled with his various methods, he had few rivals among those at the Qi Training Ninth Layer.
"Oh, right, the fire Spirit Stones."
At this moment, Ye Lin suddenly remembered something and looked towards the bedside. The three fire Spirit Stones that were originally lying there had now disappeared.
"Where are my fire Spirit Stones?"
At this moment, Ye Lin's gaze fell upon the Phoenix Egg next to him. He saw that the life aura within the Phoenix Egg had grown stronger by a fraction, and then, thinking of his missing fire Spirit Stones, Ye Lin's heart was filled with both sorrow and joy.
"Little fellow, you've consumed so many of my resources. When the time comes, you must repay me well."
At this moment, Ye Lin touched the Phoenix Egg and sighed with emotion. After he finished speaking, the Phoenix Egg shook slightly, as if responding to him.
"Phew, now that the Phoenix Egg has a life aura, it can no longer be kept in the space ring."
Ye Lin looked at the Phoenix Egg in front of him and pondered for a moment.
The space ring can only store inanimate objects, not living beings.
"I'll hide it."
At this moment, to ensure safety, Ye Lin dug a large pit in his residence, placed the Phoenix Egg inside, and then covered it with soil.
"For now, this is all I can do. Bear with it for a bit."
After finishing everything, Ye Lin clapped his hands.
"Is Junior Brother Ye there? Is Junior Brother Ye there?"
At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the door.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Lin frowned and went to open the door, only to see a Disciple with an unfamiliar face standing before him.
"Junior Brother Ye, the Sect Leader has summoned all Inner Sect Disciples to the main hall for a meeting."
"I understand."
Hearing this, Ye Lin nodded with a solemn expression. Had the situation become so serious? He knew without a doubt that it must be about the evil demons.
"In that case, I'll be going. I still need to inform the other Senior Brothers."
"Senior Brother, take care. I'll be there soon."
Ye Lin nodded, and then a transparent panel appeared before his eyes.
Name: Liu Ming
Cultivation: Qi Training Ninth Layer
Fate: Green
Destiny: None (Ordinary)
Future: Will descend the mountain tomorrow to eliminate demons and die after his vital blood is drained by a demon.
Recent Opportunity: None
Looking at Liu Ming's panel as he left, Ye Lin's heart was shaken.
Earlier, when he was in the Outer Sect, he had discovered that many Disciples had died at the hands of evil demons. Now, had it already spread to the Inner Sect Disciples?
But what exactly were these evil demons? He had to go to the main hall.
After thinking this, Ye Lin dared not delay. He quickly tidied up and then headed to the main hall.
At this moment, in the Sect's main hall, stood twenty Inner Sect Disciples, and the three direct Disciples at the very top. In the center of the main hall's highest point stood an old man, surrounded by three other old men.
"It seems all Disciples who weren't in secluded cultivation have arrived. Let's begin then."
After one of the old men finished speaking, the old man standing in the very center nodded and then spoke.
"gentlemen, currently, evil demons have appeared in the area governed by our Qingyun Sect."
"And evil demons are descendants of ancient great demons. They are inherently cruel, feed on humans, and now, many cities have been tragically invaded by evil demons, with countless deaths."
"We cultivators must not stand idly by. Now, I announce that you, starting today, will descend the mountain to eliminate demons."
After the old man above finished speaking, a fighting spirit ignited in the bodies of the other Disciples. We cultivators must eliminate demons and uphold the Dao.
"Alright, the notice has been issued. Of course, we won't let you act in vain. For killing an evil demon below the Qi Training Fifth Level, you will be rewarded with ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones. For those above the Qi Training Fifth Level, you will be rewarded with fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones."
"Eliminate demons and uphold the Dao, eliminate demons and uphold the Dao!"
After the Sect Master finished speaking, the Disciples all shouted loudly. Resources, they were extremely lacking, extremely, extremely lacking. This time, the Sect's actions perfectly suited their wishes.
Ye Lin, who was standing at the very back, felt his heart pound. He had looked through the panels of these people one by one just now, and not a single one had returned alive, which was extremely absurd.
"Good, with you all, how can our Sect not prosper?"
Seeing the Disciples' appearance, the Sect Master nodded with satisfaction.
